What it is
#2 "Modern" includes a dedicated brush. Known as the "national shading" in Korea, this shading boasts an overwhelming market share. Popular as a face-slimming shading solution, it creates a natural shadow that matches your skin tone. Its unique feature is the ability to mix three colors to create a subtle, natural gradation effect. It's also a multi-purpose shading solution that can be used not only on the face, but also on the nose, eyebrows, and under-eye bags. By Rodan Shading #2 "Modern" is recommended for those with light, cool-toned skin tones. Its minimal yellow undertones make it ideal for creating a clear, cool-toned shadow contour.

It blends well with my warm skin tone and is easy to use! I like how it comes with a brush, which is a great value and easy to use. It's convenient because you can mix multiple colors and use different colors. I'll definitely buy it again.
I bought Modern as a shadow color. I don't need the brush that comes with it, so I think it would sell better if it was a little cheaper. It's a three-color gradient, but looking at the palette, the middle color seems too reddish for a natural gradient. It's not that noticeable when you apply it, so it's fine. It's neither good nor bad, so I was able to use it safely.
The natural shadow color is just right. It's a little sensitive to rubbing from the mask. I appreciated that it came with a small shading brush.
It has a natural color and blends well with the skin, making it easy to use. The natural color gives a soft impression, so I also use it as an eyebrow pencil, which I like because it gives a unified look to my makeup. The amount of powder that comes off is about the same as Kate's eyebrow pencil. The packaging is cute with a retro American feel, and the generous portion is great. I like 1.5 Neutral for my cool undertones, so I'd like to try 02 Modern next.
It's so easy to use on the face line and nose bridge that I keep buying it again and again.
